Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet

----------------------------------

Explanation:

Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540

The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A

Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.

Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec

Susan decided to start a bracelet business. She spent $17.75 on supplies for her
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Given that:

Susan spent on supplies = $17.75

Earning of june = 24 * $3.25

Earning of June = $78

1/4 of earning = 1/4 * 78

1/4 of earning = $19.5

So Susan will set $19.5 aside for supplies of next month and remaining amount she will have is : 78 - 19.5 = $58.5

i hope it will help you!
